The Windy Island of Menorca
The personality of this island
in Balearic Islands category is quite charming and strong as compared
to the rest. You will find the island to be very different especially
because most of its interior is virgin as compared to other major
islands in the group. It has a rich history though which is always
interesting for the visitors coming here to have a feel of the windy
island.
On the island you will find lonely bays and beaches
from where you can spend some fun time. It is the best resort area
for people looking for maximum relation, peace and quiet. On the
southern part or Menorca are white sandy beaches Migjorn with pine
woods as the surroundings. The vegetation on this part is also rich.
The northern coast on the other hand has is much steeper and rocky
but with wonderful views and natural beauty.
Mahon is the
capital of Menorca and it is worth visiting. Here you will get to see
and enjoy a natural park, charming village of Villacarlos, and
excellent bays. There is also another small island Es Colom not very
far from the beach. Sant Lluis is another place that is definitely
worth visiting while in Menorca. It is a small village and you will
find the splendid beaches amazing. They are quite urbanized and
therefore bound to give you a comfortable stay while here.
Still
in Menorca, there is Torret a town made up of white house’s
representing the typical Menorca architecture. There is also Calas
Covas which is very interesting for the fact that people here still
live in caves with transistor radios as their only communication with
the world. It is an interesting place and which has remained as a
major attraction.
Alaior, an industrial town cannot be missed
while in Menorca. It is famed for shoe production and has a narrow
lane historical center, Costa
Blanca . Within the center you will find interesting manorial
houses and walls which are whitewashed. Within the surroundings are
historical remains and a basilica which is of recent times.
Mercadal
is also worth a visit. It sits at Monte Toro Mountain foot. Great
views of the island can be enjoyed from the mountain which happens to
be the highest in this island. Also interesting within the area are
the wonderful beaches and the pre historical remains. There is a lot
to see and learn within the island as long as you take the time to
explore.
